Abstract

A healthy 48-year-old male with no significant or pertinent medical history presented with complaints of sudden, progressively worsening severe right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain over the course of two days. He denied any other constitutional symptoms. A palpable mass was noted in the RLQ. Laboratory findings were consistent for anemia and CEA and CA 19-9 markers were normal. CT of the abdomen revealed a heterogeneous exophytic mass in the RLQ measuring 9.8 cm x 7.9 cm x 12.1 cm, colonic intussusception, and liver metastases.
